Hi Penni,
No Dubai is not in Saudi Arabia. It is in the Emirate of Dubai,one of the seven United Arab Emirates in the Arabian Gulf,it borders Saudi Arabia but is very different.
I think the whole world is coming here for holidays now,tourism is huge and facilities are second to none. It is in every magazine and TV programme except perhaps inAmerica but we have a lot of American expats living and working here and lots of American companies setting up their regional headquarters in our Free Zones such as Internet City where we have Microsoft etc,or in our Media city where we have CNN etc.
Everyone loves it here but it is quite a unique place as we have over 170 different nationalities living and working here in total harmony. There is virtually no crime,which is why everyone likes it so much as it is so safe and we have state of the art medical facilities etc. There are quite a lot of American Doctors and Dentisits as well as business people. The Golf courses also attract a lot of people as they are so good. We have excellent hotels and restaurants etc.
A lot of young people from U.A.E. go to the States for further education,in fact I have 2 nephews studying in Boston at present.
You very seldom find U.A.E. nationals emigrating or living elsewhere permanently though as htey all love their country because it is peaceful and the population are well provided for,the locals have free education,healthcare and housing if they need it. It is a city developed and still growing out of the desert where it sometimes doesn't rain for 4 years but it is green and verdant thanks to the far sightedness of the ruling family and the generation before this too.
I am from London but my husband is from here and I have been marrried 30 years.
What a long reply to a short question! Sorry if it's too much information!
